Love Letters

Before the telephone, e-mail, and text messages,
people relied on letters to carry sentiments and
information to loved ones.
The letters pictured here provide an intimate look
into relationships of bygone days. Reading them
enables us to explore the ups and downs of romantic love from the 18th century to the present.
